Today, gossip website TMZ revealed the bottle blonde will spend the next quarter of a year inside - and it was the persistence of an interventionist from telly show The Doctor's which proved crucial.

Recently, Aaron tested positive for cocaine and meth on the American programme and according to sources close to Aaron's family, a show representative visited Aaron's Florida pad, returning the following day and waiting for four hours until he finally had chance to chat to the star.

TMZ reported: "Aaron's supposed to be in rehab in California for 3 months," before adding the programme was paying for his medical treatment, yet it was not being filmed.

Meanwhile, a representative for Backstreet Boy Nick Carter's little brother added: "Aaron’s decision to enter a facility was his own and a choice he made for himself.

"He very much wishes to be left alone so he can focus on his wellness."

"You have a mixture of benzodiazepines with opiates, which is how many people accidentally can die. These medications - and I'm speaking now purely from the doctor's perspective - can be very, very scary."
